HaShem is very particular,

About how we use His Name,

Don’t call upon Him carelessly,

And He’ll treat you just the same.

Acharei Mos-Kedoshim Snapshot

One great challenge to our nation,

Is in the realm of procreation,

In these parshas we’re warned twice,

Not to walk out on thin ice.

Remember Breyer’s Vanilla Ice Cream,

White - with black specks of the bean?

We would buy it at the Bohack’s,

A grocery store in Queens.

But if afflicted with a baheres,

Of the skin, with dim white spots,

Don’t confuse it with my Breyer’s,

Like a bohak, it is not.

The priestly food’s for the elite,

To none of us this should be news,

Then we’re told what we may eat,

For us, a different menu used.

Shevi'i shel Pesach

Shevi’i shel Pesach Snapshot

All pharoah’s horses, and all pharoah’s men,

Went down to the sea in formation,

But chariots of gold, and lances of bronze,

Would but hasten the birth of God’s nation.

Tzav/Shabbos HaGadol Snapshot

Tzav l’tzav, kav l’kav,*

Though I try to understand,

A little here, a little there,

For the rest, I’ve feet of sand.

Vayikra

Vayikra Snapshot

With three fingers he scoops up a kometz,

Made with flour that cannot be chometz,

Pour some oil upon it,

Place some frankincense on it,

What’s unburnt he shall eat with his co-mates.
